Hyposfix is a separator-fixator used in pediatric urology for urethral interventions, such as Hypospadias and also in other less frequent ones, which allows excellent penile exposure so that the pediatric surgeon can perform the surgical repair of this type of pathologies with complete comfort.
This device not only fixes the penis, which can also be done in other more classical ways, but also gives it a firm base of support, which greatly helps in surgery.
